The Orange Box's HARDEST Achievements
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- I returned to The Orange Box to finish its achievements after first playing it in 2008 and constantly finding reasons to put it off.
A very fun collection of games that still hold up well to this day so if you haven't given it a go, I highly recommend.
Hope you enjoy!

I remember asking my mom for Portal 1 as a kid after beating the sequel and getting this on my birthday… I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a whole collection of games this great for a while.
Yah, but for anyone who wants to get a bunch of valve games for cheap during any of the big sales the complete pack gets real cheap like the last one literally lowered it to 7$
Bro yalls boutta be looking out the window and wondering why several armed fellows from areas of poverty breaking into your home
Dude this exact same thing happened on my birthday too
The lowest price i can get in my country is 600 0r
1000 smth like this😑😑😑
I had portal 1, but when I asked my mom for the orange box she said "Don't you already have that?" cause of portal on it and she never got it for me ;w;
The one bullet challenge in episode 1 actually made the episode insanely fun. The way it makes you use Alex to attack for you, makes you use physics props to kill enemies, and otherwise has you utilise environmental hazards makes me appreciate the level design. I swear most of the game could be played like this after getting the gravity launcher, HL has to be my favourite series from Valve.
Launched grenades and energy balls were still allowed for that achievement.
You truly feel the demolition blood flowing at that playthrough, and I fucking love that the one bullet is used for a fucking lock
I still remeber going for one free bullet on like, my third Ep 1 playthrough. I somehow also managed to get the achievement where you escort all citizens safely on that same run.
Was just about to comment this achievement
I found the hardest HLE1 Achievement was "the One Bullet" where you are only allowed to shoot your gun once in order to open a gate and after that just grenades and stuff. It's not THAT hard but i remember how i got frustrated at one level. Nice video!
Haha I was waiting for someone to mention that one! Nearly put it in the vid but couldn't be bothered to play through hle1 up to the 1 bullet moment 😂
Thanks a lot!
Me too. The Antlion Queen was really hard without using weapons in that small area.
the worst part for that for me was a savescum moment when i was at like 3 health and trying to get in the hospital. i had to go through this hallway with a gunship staring daggers through the windows and combine and zombies at the other end fighting over who can make me the most miserable
A friend told me about the achievement before I played the game, I somehow beat the game for the first time getting that achievement
Yeah it wasn’t that hard, u can use ur Crowbar, Grenades, RPG and Gravity Gun
I felt that when you said that you lost your save. I understand the pain. It is a shock, everything goes silent as you begin to realize what has happened.
That was such a good watch, I've got lots of nostalgia for playing The Orange Box (even though I did all my tf2 in 2010-2013 on Steam)
Thanks for the kind words!
I love how jack is explaining the plot and achievements like im in a class presentatiioon
The most important class you'll ever have 😂
I remember playing this on my 360 everyday for a while because it was so good.
Mad respects to you getting the portal ones. Those nearly broke me on Steam and I did them legitimately.
I bought Orange Box on steam the day it came out. It was my first steam purchase. 15 years wow
its an extremely iconic bundle of games. Left 4 Dead games are on my list to get around to completing soon!
this was a lovely video! This gives me inspiration to go and complete the orange box for Myslef. You just can't deny the addiction of getting achievements, especially on 360 games!
Haha yeah 15 years later or whatever it still feels good.
I remember thinking back in the day that it would be ridiculous if not impossible to 100% the orange box, because that's the same as 100% on 5 games. This video is inspirational!
You should see 100%ing Halo the Master Chief Collection. Now that's ridiculous.
My god I forgot what the menu looked like, this was a punch of nostalgia
Great video man! I cant imagine getting the grub achievement let alone all of orange box’s. Impressive work :]
Brother it's super easy to get your saves from the 360 to the newer Xboxes. Just upload them to cloud storage from your 360's hard drive settings on the dashboard, and they'll automatically be downloaded when you boot the game on X1/SX. Orange box is enhanced on new gen too, runs at 4K.
This is actually pretty impressive.
I played through HL2 EP2 for the first time while also doing the Little Rocket Man achievement.
It probably ruined my enjoyment of the playthrough when I look back at it.
I think i did exactly the same thing and i'd probably agree.
Although I do love achievements I try to just do my first playthrough without looking anything up these days (guides/missable achievements etc) and then go back to mop up the gamerscore.
Quite mellow and straightforward, good video
The Orange Box and subsequently the Valve Complete Pack (during Steam sales) are the greatest deals in gaming history, especially the Valve Complete Pack. It used to be an amazing deal at 20$ back in the day and now its costs something like 5$ during sales which is an absolute steal (but it also lost CSGO in the meantime so I guess it kinda still costs the same if you want csgo too, but its still such a steal)
CS:GO has actually been free for years, unless you want Prime
@@koye4427 this is what I meant with "it lost CSGO", since it went free to play and the complete pack doesn't grant you access to prime
Also, I have to take a second to appreciate the fact that Jack took the time to play out Half-life just to show the entirety of a piece of gaming history. It really shows your passion for gaming as a whole, not just focused on pumping out content. Mad respect man 😎👍🏻👌🏼
Thank you very much! 😁
Valve needs to release a new Orange Box.
I wish, they got no games to make one tho 😭
@@andywain3263 HL1 (not source), Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, plus all the other games.
@@GhostlyPhantom it would be great to have all of those games on current gen consoles to be fair, it's unfortunate they don't continue to create more games to warrant a collection pc players would want to buy :(
Technically they do have the valve complete pack but it's PC only
@@GhostlyPhantom surely you see how this would literally never work
24:37 The game is very popular, it even has a whole discord dedicated to that version of the game. I also got all these tf2 achievements in a modded server. Just started getting the achievements randomly.
Where can I join the discord? Thanks ahead of time
Watched all three videos of the series 😮 LOVE IT 🎉❤ Please keep finishing games from yours and mine childhood I love getting a nostalgia rush. Especially since my health is failing me and this is keeping my morale up. Thank you ❤😢
wow thanks a lot!
don't worry i'm going to do just that!
editing one at the moment and got more planned
@@JForJackPlays a heart and a reply let’s go. Having this maxillofacial surgery just got a little better bc of this interaction! Very excited to see the new content man thank you!!!
I think one of the hardest achievements I ever did was Portal 2 Multiplayer. Had two controllers and did the whole thing with one hand on each. I must have looked like spiderman.
where your friends bro
Wow, a set-up to rival Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
@@urbexingTss in our dreams
@@urbexingTssMoved on from life, last played 1794 days ago
i did this exact thing after my dad gave up on it and it was pretty easy ngl
i remember struggling SO much with this achievement! the only ones i'm missing from this game is the grub achievement from ep2, which i've failed at getting several times; and the "play with 7 people from your friends list" achievement from TF2, which i don't even know if it's still possible to achieve
I believe it is you'll just need to coordinate! Someone in the comments said there's a discord going for Xbox tf2 these days so I'm sure you could get it with help from that!
@@JForJackPlays that sounds like an idea, my attempts at getting this achievement as a kid just amounted to joining games and spam adding everyone to my friends list, hoping enough people would accept my request to get the achievement. but then with the people that actually accepted it, i was too shy and awkward to actually try to like, talk to or try to coordinate to get into a team together lol... so it eez what it eez.
thanks for the idea though. do you know if orange box is backwards compatible on the xbox one? my 360 doesn't work anymore after my dumbass cat managed to knock over a full watering can onto it a couple of years back LOL
@@GabZonY it is backwards compatible for Xbox one, I have it myself so I know it is
@@herobrine7617 that's good to know! :)
This is dope! I appreciate a channel that plays different games! Keep up the great work
Thank you sir!
i’m so happy i found your channel, i’m really enjoying going back through your catalog lol.
Glad you enjoy it!
Man I miss the orange box I made multiple accounts just to unlock the achievements again 😭

The term for it is called accelerated back hopping or ABH for short, it's a form of bunny hopping. You can do it on console because it's an updated version of the game which doesn't allow people to do it and that version doesn't exist on the Xbox and PS3 versions however in my experience performing an ABH on controller is incredibly difficult.
interesting to know, thank you!
@@JForJackPlays No problem!
@@JForJackPlays The reason for that is the nature of ABH. It's because you need to jump tons in a single second. Pressing a button on a controller can be done about 8 times per second if you use your index finger, but, you can can use a mouse wheel, which would yield 50+ jumps per second. To enable it on a PC, enable the dev console, press ~ (the dev console key) then type "bind mwheelup +jump", then "bind mwheeldown +jump". After that ABH is enabled. I can barely do it, even on mouse/keyboard.
To do ABH, jump, turn around in mid-air, then start scrolling the scroll wheel fast. If done correctly, you move at lightning speed backwards.
Other glitches that should be mentioned if not already:
Prop climbing/item glitch (HL2 + Portal): Go up against a wall with an item. Put an item below you, and start spamming the A and X buttons intermittently. This allows you to climb walls.
Edge glitch/save glitch (Portal only): I have never been able to do this. Shoot a portal directly under you, along with another portal in any other spot. If this is done correctly, you'll get stuck. Then once you're stuck, save and load. Suddenly, you'll be able to go out of bounds.
End
@@indetermite super interesting stuff, thank you!
This is very nostalgic of rooster teeth, especially with that classic Xbox achievement unlocked notification
?
the nostalgia is hitting me hard🤤
Got some more planned so you might get a few more doses of nostalgia!
Nah you acting like it making you hard
Really enjoyed it. Keep it up man
Appreciate it! Thanks
this video helped me to get through a very shitty day, thank you a lot
sorry to hear you've had a bad day!! glad I was able to help somewhat :)
For the broken bridge in half life 2 there is a way on controller to cross it which also uses ABH. It's harder to pull off but still very possible just takes some practice
he could've just used the gravity gun to blast the car out of the water, it's how you get it unstuck any time you can't move it by driving
I really feel like I tried to do that but maybe I got flustered and forgot 😅
@@JForJackPlays from the footage (assuming you didnt cut it out) it looks like you tried pulling it out with the alt-fire, which the buggy is unfortunately too heavy to be affected by 😆
@@tornadogamah yeah in my head im telling myself i tried running round and blasting it out... but im not so sure..
Im the 1k sub! 🎉
Congrats🎉
thank you sir
Hello the same guy who posted that it's possible to skip Highway 17 all the way to the light house on Sand traps.
And after 6 days, I can confirm that it's possible.
Idk how, but towards the light house the game checks for the car, and some dialogue is skipped if you left the car behind before you hit the first loading zone during Highway 17. Idk if it's possible to leave the car afterwards. I do know that the train part where you have to outrun an oncoming train apparently counts as destroying the car even if you left it nearby. But it is possible with some grenade jumping and either 75% or full health and suit.
After the initial dialogue skip with the lighthouse the game proceeds as usual.
Notable things that can happen that many people may know
The gunship where you find the first salvage of cars doesn't appear.
As stated above, the oncoming train section will count the car being destroyed if it's left behind that specific section.and the player decided to walk/run the tracks on foot.
If the car is left behind in highway 17, ( maybe a bit later) you can just walk along the guard rail thing to avoid the train and proceed as normal.
I've only had this happen to me twice, but in that same train section where you need to lower the shielding barrier thing, sometimes a gunship doesn't spawn, however the usual things still happen.
That's all I can gather from my testing.
It's possible to go through Highway 17 and Sand traps on foot.
Watch for antlions and roller mines, lol
great video! love the orange box
I did this one one a back in 2022. Aperture science is a pain but you can lower the difficulty of the challenges by exploiting the shoot portals anywhere cheat and then saving before the end of the level going to dash and going back in to finish the challenge with sv_Cheats disabled and it will give you the completion.
The challenges were designed around the kb/m in mind with a controller it's brutal.
You can go to 360 Settings and upload the save to the cloud so when you move to One/Series the data is there
Nah man, Aperture Science achievement was pure pain. I did it in the OG portal and then did it again recently in RTX portal. Fuck that lmao.
Aperture Science is BRUTAL. The only way I managed to pull it off was through using out of bounds exploits in several challenges.
Yeah I still can't get it even with the cheat exploit
@@SuperTerminator123 Not with sv_cheats or cheat tools, more just the typical out of bounds portalling glitches so commonly used by speedrunners.
@Comm Scan ok but I use cheats and still can't get it
@@SuperTerminator123 It's probably because using sv_cheats doesn't let you earn achievements.
@Comm Scan I play it on Xbox 360 and load one file with no cheats on still doesn't work
that xbox intro brought back too many childhood memories
Class video, amazed you don’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers
Thanks! Still lots of things I think I can improve on. Got many more planned
This is a pretty impressive video
thank you, much appreciated!!
This deserves far more views
Thanks for the kind words!
@@JForJackPlays seriously though. I remember when only high effort videos got high view counts. Now the mainstream is pretty low quality.
there's actually out-of-bounds tricks for 15, 16, 17, and 18 to save lots of steps and time.
but IDK if out-of-bounds is possible on the console version of portal
Imagine trying to grind all modern TF2 achievements
I remember that grub achievement... absolutely ridiculous. I still remember playing vanilla TF2. God knows what that thing looks like now
When he said "get all gold medals" i physically recoiled.
just to let you know you can transfer your save file on the 360 to the cloud then you can play that same save on the xbox one
8:42 one of my mates actually learned how to ABH (accelerated back hop) using a controller. It is pretty hard to do and is a lot easier using a controller with paddles like a Scuf or Xbox Elite Controller, but it is definitely possible lol
The Orange Box was such a no-brainer I bought the game(s) before I even got my 360.
it is a 10/10 classic
That “crossing the beach without touching the sand” achievement for Half-Life 2 is one I went for 20 times…but never got. I’m not sure if it’s because you have to do it in one go without saving between planks, but I know I’ve done it before at least 6 times/ 20!
It’s not hard, but the game just doesn’t seem to like giving it out.
Nice video! You have a lot of potential my friend! I wish you great amounts of happiness and success! :)
I bought the orange box for $19 on a whim and it ended up being one of my top 15 favorite games.
even using a guide those portal challenges are BRUTAL!
Chill video. Idk why youtube recommended it but I watched it so I guess it's fine.
Very interesting, but don't let this video distract you from the fact that Tupac became an underground rapper
I forgot to close the door in the rocket at the end of half life 2 and didn't get the "little rocket man" achievement.
Really underrated channel!
No
When this first came out I didn’t have WiFi or anything so I could never play the tf2 game
I got all gold medals for portal 1 but didn't get all the achievements because the achievements were completly broken on steam for me so there is still 2 achievements remaining but I would like to think that I DID get all of them...but for portal 2 I got about if I can remember 51/57 achievements for portal 2...it is extremely hard because of co-op :(
Yeah I need to finish portal 2 myself!
Omg I remember opening this on Christmas. Geee whizzz! Played it non stop for days hahah
I remember playing it a ton around Christmas 2008. Good times! And what a game
Rice and beans, Mr. Freeman.
Rice and...
Beans.
the xbox 360 intro gave me goosebumbs
At that broken bridge, you can grab a box and item hop on the cliff over to the left, just change your jump to bumper and mash that jump and item grab against, I've cleared half life 2 console without the car and item hopping over most of scripts. I was poor and raised on orange box, and the amount of glitches you can learn to do on controller is uh actually rather limited but hey you can clear half the game by hoping over walls with a box or barrel
"old janky controller"
the Xbox 360 has the best designed controller ever
Can't say you are wrong. It is iconic
Great video very entertaining
Thank you!
I remember the gnome achievement, it was a fun challenge, so was the one for only using 1 bullet in HL2:E1.
For some reason I could never find all the grubs, or save all the building from destruction outside the missile silo.
Yeah neighbourhood watch was a pretty hard one!
The Tf2 xbox community is bustling, I should know this because im apart of the discord, sometimes you just gotta get lucky and hope servers are available
Here are my only 3 HARDEST Achievements in The Orange Box for me:
1. Keep Off The Sand! Cross the antlion beach in Chapter 8: Sandtraps without touching the sand. (Half Life 2)
2. The One Free Bullet Complete all of the game firing only one shot. Grenades, SMG Grenades are allowed, Gun Turrets are allowed, Rockets, Crowbar, or the Gravity Gun and NOTHING ELSE. Those ONLY 6 are okay! (Half Life 2: Episode One)
3. Little Rocket Man Send the garden gnome into space. Keep the gnome under the shelf throughout the whole game from Chapter 1: To The White Forest all the way up to Chapter 6: Our Mutual Fiend and then put the gnome into the rocket to shoot him off into space and close the hatch and then the achievement will unlock. (Half Life 2: Episode Two)
That's it I guess! I hope you like it! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I’m all for playing on original hardware, but if you wanted to play on modern day Xbox just put the 360 save into the cloud on the 360. Then when you play on newer Xbox it’ll automatically pull this save
Let's just have a moment of silence for thid man
The amount of hours I put into the orange box omg I loved all of the games so much
They're iconic that's for sure
When aperture is science
thats the secret, aperture is always science
I know that it is possible to go with out the car in the very start of that chapter and not have the game soft lock.
I think it's because you need to either trigger the lighthouse or something. But I know it's possible. I've done it multiple times after grenade/SMG grenade jumping over the gap.
I may need to to experiment again, I still use my Xbox 360 even though I have a PS4.
Still, nice job on the achievements. Shame that the file was gone but using a guide for the achievement was the best bet since you already had most of them anyway.
Have you ever considered doing slightly more informational/historical videos? You have a great cadence for them
God that intro gave me nostalgia
One time, I joined a modded tf2 match on the Orange Box. One of the things that match did was unlock every single achievement for the orange box. I definitely worked hard for that lmao
gotta take what we are given sometimes
i know i am really late for this, but if you download of 360 profile on usb chip, you transfer it to your xbox one.
The PC version does have the Aperture Science AP.
Funny seeing the Orange Box on release on console had 99 achievements when modern day TF2 alone has over 500
Just you know: jumping across that broken bridge was possible with a rocket jump
Still, great vid
I honestly had the most fun with portal challenges, I rarely do any challenges in games, but portal was my jam. Getting a score that was above the gold medal was delicious. Except for the time challenges. Those weren't interesting to me.
That's to say "difficult" can be very subjective.
Accelerated backhopping etc is possible on a controller it's just more funky and sometimes you can do it and sometimes not because it's a bit tricky.
Great video man
Thanks a lot!
@@JForJackPlays What is your hardest achievements in The Orange Box?
i have a PS3 and xbox 360, both are my mother's and i found the orange box from this box of PS3 and xbox 360 games, and it was amazing when i first played it
naturally the first game i played was HL2
It's so so good. I remember playing it on the tv in my parents room back in the day
I remember when I got my first ps3, the orange box came with it. I knew about valve but just because of l4d. Great lineup of games right here
Console TF2 will always stick in my brain and I don’t know why
I remember carrying that gnome that gnome and getting pstd playing l4d2 from the first time and seeing him as a prize in dark carnival if anyone has played that
That is another classic!
and maybe on my list..
There’s a discord server that hosts live tf2 games daily btw
great vid man
Thank you!
TH-cam got my Half Life algorithm down. Good video!!
9:17 Keep Off The Sand! is the HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT EVER in Half Life 2 for me.
8:52 I have proof it can be done without a keyboard and mouse.
its still funky but also very possible
Holy shit that Xbox start up is so nostalgic
The only achivements I don't have for the orange box are all tf2 achievements sadly.
I think you should take more to heart the advise "show, don't tell".
Yeah I deffo think I waffle on too much in this one. Trying to cut down 😂
@@JForJackPlays Thank you for taking what I wrote with good spirit. Rereading it afterwards I see that it could easily be interpreted as sarcastic or antagonistic, but that wasn't my intention at all!
I still have my eggsbox 360 and I still haven't turned it on like my girlfriend
